Joe Biden has described the Israel Defense Force’s fatal shooting of the Turkish American protester Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi as “totally unacceptable” in his first extensive comments on her death.
In a statement on Wednesday, Biden said that Israel had “acknowledged responsibility” for Eygi’s death, but he stopped short of backing the demands put out by Eygi’s family and other human rights advocates for an independent inquiry into the fatal shooting of the American activist at a protest in the West Bank town of Beita last week.
“I am outraged and deeply saddened by the death of Aysenur Eygi,” Biden said in the statement. “Israel has acknowledged its responsibility for Aysenur’s death, and a preliminary investigation has indicated that it was the result of a tragic error resulting from an unnecessary escalation.”
How unacceptable are we talking about? Enough to withhold the supply of weapons? Or just, like, totally unacceptable?
“why is there surviving witnesses?” unacceptable.
Finger wagging levels
Then fucking do something about it. If you need your unsinkable aircraft carrier to enforce the petrodollar you shouldn’t have it in the first place.
And yet Biden will do nothing to curb the war crimes, even though he has the power to do so. Joe Biden is complicit
Neither will Harris, should she be elected. The Wolfowitz doctrine is alive and well.
Trump will make sure they kill all the Palestinian Americans
I’m sure Netanyahu has already promised him some prime beachfront real estate in return for just that
Trump stopped the war in Afghanistan and hasn’t started a single new one. Unlike Obama and Biden. I’m voting trump cuz I’m against genocide.
Against genocide, but pro American fascism
You use the word fascism in a way that it appears you need to look up it’s meaning in the dictionary.
Trump will only bend the knee even more
Totally unacceptable but an accident so don’t expect anything to change.
“the USS Linertybwas just an accident, too. They didn’t mean it. Chill out bro. It’s all just a joke, bro.”
-Netanyahu, maybe.
Biden: killing Americans in the west bank is totally unacceptable…but we will accept it.
Something tells me, that he is going to totally accept it anyway…
Ok yeah it’s bad, that’s a start. Now let’s work on all the other killing the IDF is doing. Or does it just matter when the victims are American or Israeli?
It doesnt matter that the victim was American.
All being the wrong kinda of American did was elicit some empty words.
Rachel Corrie was the “right kind of American” and she still got no justice.
She most definitely was not 'the right kind of american.
“American activist” is not the kind of american the government wants.
Now if we could just get him to give the tiniest of shits about all the innocent Palestinians being murdered.
Ah yes, totally unacceptable but there’s just nothing we could possibly do to let Israel know how displeased we are. Nothing at all. Definitely no weapons shipments we could stop or Israeli units we could sanction.
“unacceptable” I do not think this word means what you think it means…
Biden calls IDF’s killing of American in West Bank ‘totally
unAcceptable’FTFY
“Listen here, if you don’t stop the genocide, I’m going to be really upset with you! 😠” - Biden
It’s unacceptable!
Proceeds to accept it and keep going on as normal
So it’s unacceptable when a person born in X country, but people born in Y country; I’ll approve it.
It’s fucking bullshit. The entire situation there is unacceptable!!
Oh NOW he thinks they’ve gone too far.
Well no, he didn’t say that
